ABOUT

I'm professionally a mechanical engineer, but I started photography as a hobby back in 2008 when I bought my first camera (Panasonic Lumix LX-3). The reason I bought the LX-3 was that I wanted one of the best compact cameras to bring with me on my trips and adventures. It started out and stayed as travel and adventure photography/documentary for personal use for many years, until the camera finally died on me end of 2014. In these years we had been together on a road trip in Italy, canyoning and hiking in Jordan, exploring Cambodia, climbing Mont Blanc and many many hikes in Switzerland etc.

​

After not having a camera for some years, I frequently came to miss the possibility to document events or trips that I was doing. With that in mind I decided that I had been without a camera long enough. I had made up my mind. I wanted to get more serious with my photography, I wanted a camera which would allow me change lenses and one that would perform really well, without weighting a ton. My goal was still to continue doing my kind of travel and adventure photography, but now also be able to do larger prints. Early 2018, after months of research, I bought my Fujifilm X-T2 with the kit lens 18 - 55 mm. This was the turning point in my photography career. I got into Adobe Lightroom, bought myself a tripod and even some filters and really tried to learn as much as I could about photography in general, but especially about landscape photography.

​

Over two and a half year later, I still shoot with my X-T2, but mainly with the 16-55 mm lens and occasionally with the 50-140 mm lens. After having lived with the kit lens 18-55 for some time, I had seen that almost all my photographs were soft on the right side and there was nothing I could do about it, except buy better lenses. It was a hard earned lesson, that still leaves me with regret when I think back on the photographs that could have been great, if it wasn't for the softness on the right side.

​

Since the beginning of my photography career 2008, I have stayed true to my travel and adventure documentary style. This means that the photographs that I take are purely coincidental and not planned, since I just pass by a location when I travel or do my adventures and the conditions are the way they are at this given moment. So what I am showing you are some of the best "capture the moment" photographs that I have made on my adventures with my X-T2 as companion. I hope you will like them.
